So would I. I wouldn't bet that there is a planet out there that is better for life that has evolved on Earth (anything is possible) and I wouldn't bet that we will be frequenting other solar systems due to the distances involved (again, anything is possible).

No evidence that there exists a second Earthlike planet, very similar to ours that it can support Earth lives.
This Earth is specifically created by God to host lives.

There might be types of complex slash intelligent life which don't require terrestrial conditions to engender and maintain them. Even if such are so dependent, and the Earth is an uncommon convergence of multiple necessary characteristics, the latter need not be due to a deity dictating it be so at a level prior in rank to space and time. The items below are just a sample -- the wishes of concepts reified as humanoid gods are not required by them.

Perpetually tranquil worlds would probably be bastions of unchallenged simplicity and mindless routine. May need a history disrupted by great environmental stresses and apocalyptic extinction events to deliver "interesting" life. But too much of that in the active inner regions of galaxies would be an even more severe impediment. Takes a balance between the two.

Yah, at best the equivalent of "black monoliths" on an uplift commission or von Neumann explorers would be doing that in their incredibly slow, quasi-hibernating migrations -- not us. If mutation or self-engineering is possible for nanotech, then "space wildlife" might eventually splinter off from the original machines, yielding nomadic critters without a formal agenda or eons-long mission.

It does seem like there are many planets that have similar stats to Earth and it would not be unusual to find billions of Earth like planets ineach galaxy.

Saint would you bet your life that there is only one Earth like planet ...sure you would you just want to jump the line for the after life.

Will we ever get to go to any of them?

Who knows.

Man has come a long way...who would have thought we could know where the Sun went at night and yet we now know.

It is not possible to travel the distances that are involved from what we know at the moment but before flight we would have never accepted that the jets that fly the world today would be possible.

We say travel would take many human life times well from what I hear greatly extended life times are becoming close to possible.

I can imagine a giant craft leaving Earth and taking many generations to get somewhere and although that seems unrealistic who knows what say 10 billion organised educated humans could do if they all pulled together...imagine if we could divert the physical and human resources wasted on religious pursuits...theres your giant space ship right there...and they could all get to go to heaven.. .either that or get them to check for life on the surface of the Sun.

But Saint you will have to back down on your claim that God made only one Earth like planet...firstly as there is no creator God and secondly it seems there are indeed billions of similar planets...I bet you will not look however because you fear you will find your baseless claim is well baseless.

The problem with so many believers would seem to be that they think a book of made up stories from the bronze age is a good place to find their science and as this book is clearly the only book they know about fail to read books written by folk who living thousands of years later actually know where the Sun goes at night...you would not go to the dentist to trim your toe nails so why would you go to church to get your science...scientists can give you science because they are scientists now that makes sense does it not? Of course it does...does it make sense...yes..I say brothers and sisters does it make sense...yes... does it make sense ..yes... praise the science...what do we praise...the science ..I want those up the back...praise the science...those up the front...praise the science... yea praise the science...

Now those preachers give you religion because because they cant get a real job and have to resort to trickery and superstition to get money out of gullible folk.
Who are the gullible...we are...those up the back..who are the gullible ...we are....

Now I want you to take the money you waste on being told fairy tales at church and buy some real text books and learn more than a bronze age goat herder.

Up the back...buy real text books...let the folk at home hear you...buy real text books...those up the front...what are text books☺
